Find Ancestors

Iam looking for a Fuschia Watson born nantwich DOB not known married a leslie cheetham in nantwich 1926 but divorced (i hope so anyway he married my nan years later) He died and it wasnt untill his death we discoverd he had a first wife!..i cant find her on any trees and before i buy credits could anyone look up her death details would it say who reg the death? i have one of 1996 but it is not certain any help be great

To find out who registered the death, you will have to purchase the cert

Have you looked on freebmd for a birth reg'n? Was Watson her maiden name?

If this is the death to which you refer, she must have reverted to her previous name....and only been 16 when she married

Name: Fuchsia Watson
Birth Date: 24 Feb 1910
Death Registration Month/Year: Feb 1996
Age at death (estimated): 86
Registration district: South Cheshire
Inferred County: Cheshire
Register number: D7A
District and Subdistrict: 3411D
Entry Number: 298

Hi, Yeah Watson was her maiden name
I dont want to purchase the Cert without a bit more info yet.but thanks for that wasnt sure if buyin creds gave you that much info

Thank you so so much for that info that is really appreciated and very kind of you take time to do that
iam just going to write all that down now
thank you ur a star *

I know she was Watson when she married Cheetham, but do you have the marriage cert?

I ask because there is no birth registration for the name Fuchsia Watson on freebmd

It might pay you to check a bit more..................

You could buy your grand parents marriage certificate and see if Leslie has listed himself as a widower or as divorced.
It should also give you their ages and fathers name.

There is this birth on Cheshire Bmd:

Cheshire Birth indexes for the years: 1910

WATSON Fuchia Sandbach Cheshire East SA/62/51

Was going to say the same as Eric.I would get the marriage cert of 1926 to see her age and marital status
For info in case you havent got it
Mar qtr 1926
Fuschia Watson spouse Cheetham Nantwich 8a 493

The above birth would relate to this on FreeBmd

Births Mar 1910 (>99%)

No Birth reg? thats odd isnt it?..i think i will buy certs just to check..and to see if he is down as divorced..my dad destroyed all the papers and things after my grandads death which im annoyed about as it makes it harder for me i know he didnt want me to trace them i now know why and im plzd i never knew my grandfather well at all..but its his siblings and first wife and the fact i keep coming to a dead end that makes me more curious..so i will buy certs see where that takes me and untill then i will keep seeing what i come up with on here
thank you for all your help guys **

Susan,

I have put the birth details above and you will see her on 1911 census - Hopefully with parents.

that info is brilliant thanks so so much Dea and everyone..can you view the 1911 census and how do i do that is it via the credits..if so i will get onto it straight wawy when i buy creds..im very ecited at least if i get the parents name it might give me a bit more of a lead..
thank you x

1911 census site:

http://www.1911census.co.uk/

This is how it is spelt on there:

WATSON FUCHIA F 1910 1 Congleton Cheshire

I think it is about £7 for 60 credits - you can view household transcription for 10 or actual page for 30

Thanks for you help and time deai will let you know how i get on

Have a look on the Tips board for how to view a household for free on the 1911 - you won't get all the details but you can see who else lived at the address and their ages.

And if you are looking for births, marriages and deaths from 1837 to 1930, don't buy credits on here, use freebmd - http://www.freebmd.org.uk/

As it says it is completely free to use and is updated with new info regularly

Just looked at the 1911 census and found out my greta grandmother had a stepson walter edwards born 1906 in wrenbury im so thrilled to have found more info,got more people to trace and fuchia lived in a caravan..her parnets were hawkers so gypsies i think ..les her first husband married my nan her husband was also a pikey and i wonder if thats how they met..i love all thisiam the family sleuth lol x

OOOhhh Susan,

I fear you have now become a 'Genealaddict' like many of us on here!

Good luck with your searches and enjoy.........

Yea Dea im afraid i have lol..im hopeless though when it comes to first name on page and last and numbers i did office skills at school and messed up an entire filing system lol..but im getting there i think..its weird findin out bad stuff though i always wished i could of met my grandad more now im glad i didnt what a nasty man!!..
But now im on the trail of lots of others..seemingly in the 1900's people were married lots of times and lots of children!! lol..thanks for all the help x

You are very welcome - just ask for help if you get stuck anywhere.
